So beautiful but have been totally put off these financially as they arent even a BCNR. Its just a GTS-4 ECR Chassis dressed up by Autech with GTR gear(AFAIK and have found to believe, Let me know if you know something iron?). And seeing as i dont like my cars to look stock i dont really want something i cant or shouldnt change around much when if i really wanted to have a 4 door GTR i could build one and build it my way with the only thing getting between the real deal and a project being the fact Autech name it a GTR and therefore it is a GTR. Not worth it. That and my ideas have matured beyond fantasies of a car that is very much a let down as this car is. Wouldnt mind a GTS-4 converted to GTR gear with custom widebody guards but that is not a project in mind at least right now.

The Autech GTR sedans run a BCNR33 (Kai) chassis code, not ENR33. They weren't like the Autech 260RS Stageas that ran the same chassis code as the regular wagons.

Saying that an Autech GTR sedan is a dressed up ENR33 sedan is no different to saying an BNR34 GTR is a dressed up ENR34 coupe - they're completely different cars. Autech did the work because Nissan couldn't justify modifying their production line to do the rear guards or the rear seats in GTR trim, I imagine all the rest would have been done at the factory - it's just a different combo of factory parts for Nissan.

Like I said earlier, if anyone wants one, I can make it happen. I've had a couple of workshops say they reckon they could get one complied using a combo of evidence from the R33 GTR coupe and the R33 sedan.

And whats your point? Do you have any idea how much these cars cost in Japan let alone the importing costs on top? Not hard to swap 33 GTR guards over on the front and fabricate rear guards that look better than stock.

No point whatsoever .... i was just trying to clarify the differences ... !

If it's not hard to swap the front, rear guards over, i'd RATHER do it to an R34 but does R34 come in Gts-4 form?

So you know this as irrefutable fact? word to my mother? :P

Even if it is a proper BCNR, if i was to plan on having a 4 door GTR the way i want it, i would go with a GTS-4 from ground up.

Wonder how many are already in the country now.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
